Spotlight Home & Lifestyle is now a Tarion registered builder, which means they are now licensed to build new homes in Ontario.

According to owner Garnet Northey, as an award-winning design/renovate/build firm Spotlight Home & Lifestyle has been focused on home remodels and the design and construction of additions. Over the past several years, their reputation has prompted many requests to design and build custom homes, and that day has arrived.

Spotlight is also recognized by CMHC as a Healthy Housing Renovator. For more information, visit www.spotlighthomeandlifestyle.com.
